I guess I was wrong by an order of magnitude. Having wikileaks completely online again did not take three or twelve months. This took three weeks:
He acknowledged in open court that his order had led to questions about “a possible violation of the First Amendment.” As a teenager might put it, “well, duh.”
[...]
The judge also saw that his injunction, even if had stood, was essentially useless. Other Web sites – some based outside this country – quickly picked up Wikileaks’ materials and reposted them, making the order moot almost as quickly as it came down.
